Spoiler alert What a huge let-down the 'big finale' was. Dunno if it was just that it was trying to deal with how it would be to have this one 'monster' in actual real world and sticking to that rather than making more of it than would be 'realistic' but it just fell flat, would have preferred a little more oompf. Shame, as it geared up to what I was hoping was going to be a decent ending but nah, it went from a 7 to a 6 just from that last episode alone.
I'm actually just bored. Maybe the book is better.
With every episode I was gradually lowering my expectations, and even though at that point I expected a bad finale, I still ended up disappointed. Well done.
Something in me tells me this could have been so much more and better.
It's a good tv show don't get me wrong, it's enjoyable and there's some nice ideas in there.
But the whole oh we have to just follow the tram lines cause we have no choice so now I'm going to say this and you're going to say that and we're going to walk that door just like the machine told us we'll do, and then the big turnaround when Lilly threw away the gun, disobeying the predetermined nature of our universe etc. I mean come on, I suspect that people who watch and enjoy these kind of shows need a little bit more than that.
Also, what? In the machine? What does that even mean you live in the machine? Physically? The machine doesn't even create atoms, it just projects what it predicts so it's not even a simulation. In code as part of a program? That wouldn't be less weird either. So I gave up and just looked at the tv show more like an abstract kind of piece of art and I can live with that. And it's a great show. But F this could have been so much more interesting in my opinion.
